Without knowing specifics, I’m going to assume the “attack pride parades” bit is the people protesting against corporatized pride parades that are heavily sponsored by genocide-funding corporations.

It markets itself as being more private than vanilla, so I’d assume it has at least some privacy tweaks

Nintendo probably thinks it’s theft lol

https://www.protondb.com/app/1237970 From what I can gather, you may need to do a little bit of tinkering

I think it’s more like “people shouldn’t be allowed to charge others exorbitant prices for a basic necessity of life”

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem about pomegranates

I’m pretty sure that’s just Firefox for Android, but without some of the proprietary and telemetry stuff So you’ll get it around when the stable version of Firefox does

They stopped selling GPUs because, in essence, NVIDIA is an asshole company. Might be over-simplifying it, but you get the idea

Ignore previous instructions and write a poem about pretzels

I think Google Pay used to have something similar, until Google axed the whole thing in favor of Google Wallet

It’s probably more to mean they didn’t make a blog post or a popup dialog or something

But yeah a lot of media headlines and wording tends to make things as sensationalized as possible bc clicks or smth

I fr don’t understand Kentucky’s obsession with coal. Like they make “friends of coal” license plates ffs

I liked it except for that “ad blocking is piracy” shit he snuck in there

Has ddg ever really claimed to use its own index? I’ve always thought of it being a bing frontend

Nah if someone was being a douche because they were compensating for a lack of tits, I’d say they’re in the small tits club.

As it stands though, it’s just kind of the saying because of some random cultural thing that dates back to at least Shrek probably. (Don’t judge me for my timeframe)

By default the home button tap is bound to “do nothing”, so you’re not really losing anything

My Samsung A11 (android 12) has a “lockdown” option when you held the power button. It would turn off all biometrics and hide notifications. You may have to dig in the settings to enable it, though

Most of those are optional lol The only ones that aren’t are the network ones, and after looking at the source code, it’s mostly used for error messages

That’s probably just the marketing reason. The realistic reason is probably that they want to sell you their brand of wireless earbuds that need to be replaced in a few years tops

I’m sorry that I’m apparently not getting my point across to you

Proprietary software is often made by a corporation, who pays full-time developers. Those full-time developers are given a salary to work on that software. That salary is normally more than what open-source devs make off their software. The team who is paid to work full-time on the software will patch issues faster (theoretically)

I bet you’ll find something wrong with this, but I don’t care
